Warning that Ukraine’s aviation industry “

Warning that Ukraine’s aviation industry “may be in danger of extinction,” SkyUp, Azur Air Ukraine, the airports of Lviv and Zaporizhia, and UkSATSE, the air traffic control agency, have written President Zelenskiy and Prime Minster Shmygal, asking for emergency aid: ending VAT on domestic flights, return of 2019 dividend payments to the government, a 30% cut on future dividend payments, and long-term interest-free loans from state-owned banks. The letter says: “Only the state has the necessary levers of influence, resources and the ability to influence the situation prevailing today in the aviation industry.”
